re: Location of the profile.msh for custom provider

Thanks Lee,

I filed my ideal experience about providers and formatting in MSConnect.

Thanks for your help.

Ah, that makes things much more clear.

At some point, the user will need to install your snapin. There will be an installation step. In your installation notes, you would want to make it clear that adding your formatting file to the profile is another step in the installation.

It does sound like we have the opportunity to make this experience better for snapin developers, though. If you'd like to file your ideal experience as feedback in MSConnect, it would be very helpful.

Hi Lee,

Thanks for your answer.
You are right, somebody can have an empty profile in the location I say. The
point that is driving me to this goal is that I am writing my own provider
and when the user executes the command >ls it shows some information that is
not useful for the user. For instance it shows a big XML and a resources
content and to filter this accessors from my objects I am using a formatting
file that is loaded from the msh profile, that is why I want to execute
always the profile; or is there another way to load a formatting XML file
without the profile?

Best Regards,

Omar Vera

Hi Omar;

The profile is a way for users to customize their shell environment. The side-effects are important, not the files themselves. After all, what's stopping somebody from having an empty profile at the location you require?

What is driving this goal?

If a certain side effect is important, then you should verify that instead.

Hi all,

I am developing a provider in Monad (MSH) and I found that the default
profile file must be located either in the users dir or in the all users
documents dir. Is there a way to say the Provider to use a profile located in
the same directory where it is running? It is because I want that all users
must have the profile.msh. How can I do that?

Thanks in advance.
